New CAD/CAM/MES software updates from Tebis

Tebis will be presenting customised manufacturing processes at EMO Hannover 2019, from 16-21 September, along with a series of new software developments associated with the company’s complete and highly automated CAD/CAM/MES systems.

“By using these manufacturing processes, our users – companies in the die, mould and machine manufacturing industry – can effectively compensate for the growing lack of qualified personnel while laying the groundwork for the transition to the world of Industry 4.0,” the company explains.

NC programming with digital twins

Tebis models the real manufacturing world using equipment on a one-to-one basis in the virtual world. This includes all machines with their geometric and kinematic properties as well as clamping devices and tools. Before NC processing, Tebis reviews the NC programs for collisions in the CNC simulator.

Thus, only NC programs that have been checked for collisions, based on the virtual manufacturing environment, are sent to the machine. Many customers also use the simulator as a planning tool that enables them to check feasibility and prevent collisions in advance.

Template-based programming with Tebis Automill technology

Tebis automatically evaluates the digital CAD part model, eliminating manual effort. The company uses a stored structure of digital representations of the manufacturing environment in the company to calculate the NC programs. “Your manufacturing knowledge is saved and can be referenced at any time in the templates and Job Managers,” the company adds.

A new feature is the process library, in which Tebis combines the digital twins of all clamping devices in a single environment. Users quickly and easily define the clamping situation, based on the library, and can check it for feasibility and collisions throughout the entire NC programming process.

All orders can be transparently planned and controlled with MES / ProLeiS. Our software supports you from order receipt to final delivery. This means that users can optimally use their resources to manufacture on time and ultimately reduce costs.

Comprehensive solution provider

“Tebis is demonstrating its capabilities as a comprehensive solution provider – with its combination of software, services and consulting. The highly automated CAD/CAM/MES system is continuously updated and further developed to meet the changing user requirements,” the company continues.

The Tebis service departments have more than 60 employees, all familiar with today’s manufacturing industry. They support Tebis customers in automating their CAM programming and design. A separate consulting unit provides consulting for corporate customers to assist them in optimising their processes as they proceed down the path of digital transformation. The overarching vision of a highly automated and fully networked end-to-end manufacturing environment on the user side serves as the connective tissue between the three pillars.
